    It's been 9 months and time to replace my Phoenix bulb. I will be replacing with the same brand bulb.

    How should I adjust my tank? Just cut back on hours?

    You shouldn't need to reacclimate if you're using the same bulb. I don't with my T5s, if that helps. Just keep a close eye on your corals for a few days.
